amazing1000 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) I found this file on an unattended xp disc which I had given so that I could see if I could pull all the drivers from it as it finds most for mobo etc when it installs.Are these files allowing spy/malware onto the host pc by allowing them through my router firewall ?Here is the top of the files followed by about 50 or more sites.127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.1 .impresionesweb.com127.0.0.1 .banners.publipagos.com127.0.0.1 .publipagos.com127.0.0.1 v3.publipagos.com127.0.0.1 red.as-eu.falkag.net127.0.0.1 .googlesyndication.com127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com127.0.0.1 pagead1.googlesyndication.com127.0.0.1 morannon.fok.nl127.0.0.1 ad.firstadsolution.com127.0.0.1 .clicktorrent.info127.0.0.1 .75tz.com127.0.0.1 .aavc.com127.0.0.1 .acjp.com127.0.0.1 .count.ccThese files are found in $OEM$\$$\system32\drivers\etc\hostsThanks for your time.

IcemanND Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 no that is blocking those site by uses the host file to redirect those sites if entered or accessed to 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
